  • Polymer 2 includes the selection of polymer architectural parameters, such as monomers, charge density, lack of cross-linking and molecular weight.
  • benefits e.g., freshness
  • Applicants recognized that obtaining the desired increase in benefits (e.g., freshness) requires the selection of individual and combined polymer levels, the ratio of Polymer 1 to Polymer 2, and level of softening actives when the other selections are taken into account. While not being bound by theory, Applicants believe that the mass of material that will be delivered to a fabric by a fabric softener along with residual detergent materials on the fabric should be taken into account when designing a fabric softener.

  • a preferred level of Polymer 1 minimizes the risk of product instability, which can be manifested in phase splitting, which can lead to poor product aesthetics and uneven distribution of benefit actives.
  • Polymer 1 can improve the deposition of benefit actives, leading to improved freshness and softness. Such deposition improvement can involve carry-over anionic surfactant from the wash to form flocculates that lead to improved fabric deposition of benefit actives.
  • the selection of Polymer 1 as described in the present inventions provides for a preferred FP viscosity slope (VS). It has surprisingly been found that preferred VS values enable improved FP phase stability, including when Polymer 1 is combined with Polymer 2.

  • the preferred level of Polymer 2 minimizes the risk of high levels of Polymer 1 causing unwanted FP viscosity growth, which can lead to changes in product aesthetics and/or difficulty in FP pouring, dispensing and/or dispersion.
  • Polymer 2 can improve perfume system efficiency by enhancing perfume release to the headspace above the fabric, resulting in greater scent intensity and noticeability.
  • the lower molecular weight and lower degree of cross-linking of Polymer 2 in comparison to Polymer 1 is necessary to enabling the improved release of perfume from the situs and/or from the perfume delivery technology (e.g., PMC).
  • the preferred amount of Polymer 2 alone in the compositions of the present invention enables improved freshness. Selecting too low a concentration of polymer can yield minimal benefits, whereas too high a concentration of polymer can also reduce benefits.
